Looking at a cream puff L4310 HST w/682 loader, 600 hours.
Wants $14k.
Is it worth it?

Could be. I sold my L4610 (essentially the same tractor with bigger loader and also a cream puff with 1100 hrs), for more than that a couple of years ago. The xx10 series were non-emissions tractors that sold well and had a solid reputation. Mine was an outstanding performer.

Assuming reasonable condition, I would say 14k is a good deal. I traded my L3410 in for 12k 4 years ago, and in hindsight I believe I could have done several thousand better selling it on my own.
Pre Tier4 tractors are in demand, and 600 hours is nothing on a reasonably maintained machine.

Thanks.
Remembered to ask you guys this morning before the long drive. You affirmed my conclusion.
It was a long day.
Chinese, Wuhan, Kung Flu, Corona Virus concerns, expired trailer registration, 6 hours of driving, low tires, bad roads and success!
The tractor is mine. Takes a hard look to find signs of 18 years and 900 hours of use. Seller did tell me 800 which turned to 900 when I got there but still very clean.
Yes, the 682 loader looks a little light but still good. Am going to love the hydrostatic transmission, when used to it.
Need to install quick release on the front arms, a 3rd function for next winters snow blade and do a complete learn about and service.
Paper manuals are preferred and a hard copy journal to remember what and when.
All the filters, even the air filter had the hour changed written on them, a nice touch.
Loaded trailer made it up the long muddy driveway, unload tomorrow.
If it only had a cab...

That's the only reason I traded my L3410 for the cabbed L4060.
For just my own driveway and home duties the open station was fine. Plowing 15 driveways was just too uncomfortable out in the weather. Although.... I didn't plow a single time this year, which is very rare.
You will like your L4310 - very solid tractor.

I missed out on an l4310 HST w/hydraulic box blade for 11k. Had some hard use, banged up, and was snatched up in a matter of hours from listing.
